Program information
Students who apply to the program are given the option of one of several program sessions throughout the year, each usually lasting between five and eight months, though the culinary session length is dependent upon the student's school schedule.

To be considered for the program, each student must attend an information session about the program or view the same session online. Afterwards, students can get an interview either in person or over the telephone. Here the students inform recruiters of the position in which they would like to work while attending the program. Some of these positions (or roles) are food and beverage, custodial, hospitality, and character work.

If the student has been accepted, they will receive an acceptance letter within two weeks of the interview, which must be replied to in order to secure a spot in the program. Once the student has accepted the position, they can stay in one of three, company sponsored housing units near Walt Disney World Resort during the duration of the program: Vista Way, Chatham Square, and The Commons.

Some benefits of the program are free park admission, discounted food and merchandise, and connections with people on the Disney staff who can help further a future career at Disney if the student chooses to return at a later date.
